Application February 17, 1939,

1 Claim.

This invention relates to bags, and its general object is to provide a bag that is primarily designed for use in a bathroom or the like for housing a syringe, together with the attachments and hose therefor, so that all of those elements are not only retained together for immediate use and to avoid misplacement thereof, as well as retained free from dirt, dust and foreign matter, but are concealed from view, and the bag, which is neat in appearance, is adapted to be hung or suspended from any suitable supporting means, such as a nail, hook or the like.

A further object is to provide a bag of the character set forth, that is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to handle, and is extremely efficient in use and service.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front View of the bag which forms the subject matter of the present invention, and illustrates a syringe therein, in dotted lines, together with the suspending means therefor.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional View taken through the bag.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken through the upper portion of the bag and at right angles to Figure 2.

Referring to the drawing in detail it will be noted that my bag includes a relatively narrow or flat rectangular shaped body that is preferably made from rubberized sheet material to provide a rear wall I and a front wall 2, that laterally merge together in side walls 3 and at their upper ends into a top wall 4, while the front wall is secured along its lower edge to the rear wall above the lower edge of the latter, to provide what may be termed a bottom wall 5.

The front and rear walls are held in spaced relation with respect to each other, by an arcuate reenforcing strip 6 of a length coextensive with that of the top wall, the strip providing the body of a hanger having the shank 1 of a hook 8 swiveled centrally thereto and rising therefrom for suspending the bag from a nail or the like, in that the shank extends through the top wall, with the latter resting upon the strip Serial N0. 257,007

which is of suflicient width to provide ample bearing or supporting means for the top wall, as clearly shown in Figures 2 and 3.

The strip 6 also has a hanger bracket 9 depending centrally therefrom and which is preferably formed from two strands of heavy wire each having a head on the upper end thereof and counter-sunk in the upper surface of the strip, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 3. The strands extend through the strip upon opposite sides of the shank of the hook and are thence disposed towards each other in converging relation. One strand is bent to provide a shank I0 and the other strand is twisted about the shank I0 in coiled formation, and the shank I0 is bent at its lower end to provide a hook II for receiving the usual eyelet I2 of a syringe I3 of the flat rubber container type, for suspending the same within the bag, as clearly shown in Figures 1 and 3.

The lower portion of the rear wall is looped upon itself forwardly and upwardly to provide an elongated pocket I4 of a length coextensive with the width of the body, and the pocket, which is primarily designed for receiving the tubing of the syringe, is provided with a closure fiap I5 secured along the lower edge of the bottom wall 5 and held in closed position by being secured to the front wall I6 of the pocket by a snap fastener or the like I1.

Secured to the front wall 2 are pockets I8 and I9 for receiving the attachments of the syringe and each of those pockets are provided with closure flaps 20 and 2|, respectively, that are secured in closed position by snap fasteners or the like 22 and 23.

The front wall is slit along its longitudinal center for the major portion of its height to provide an opening or access means to the interior of the bag, as will be apparent, and the opening is closed by a slide fastener 24.

From the above description and disclosure in the drawing it will be obvious that I have provided a bag that is neat in appearance and will be found extremely useful for housing and completely concealing a syringe and the parts thereof, of the type set forth and as for the purpose specified in the objects of my invention.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, probeing forwardly and upwardly directed in looped formation to provide a pocket of a length coextensive with the Width of the body and for receiving the hose of the syringe therein, a

the length of the bottom Wall, and a fastener for securing the ap in closed position.
